Russia is looking into the possibility of launching TV services using LTE Broadcast technology.
Quoted by AKTR and RNS, Nikolai Nikiforov, the minister of communications and mass media, said that it is already undertaking tests employing the technology, which could theoretically allow for the switch off of analogue and digital broadcasts in certain areas.
This would free up frequencies that could be used to broadcast up to 20 HD channels and still retain capacity for mobile internet.
Although Nikiforov did not provide a launch date, he said that services woud be provided on a sound economic footing.
They could be received by up to 16.6 million households.
